Heavy RNG-based loot system must be changed.

They will also quit when they get all the loot they want in a matter of a month to six weeks and find there is nothing else to do. Then they will be on here saying there is no new content.

This is where having good PvP comes in.

I'm so confused why people wouldn't want a token system. My static cleared 10-12 for the months before seeing a single tank drop. Meanwhile our bard was bis minus the gear from T13 then got both his chest and bow our first two clears.

They are implementing a token system for the savage mode raids in 3.0 which can only be cleared once a week for loot. The party leader will determine who gets what gear. Getting needed drops are important for groups working on progression who need the gear to meet dps, healing, and tanking checks.

After 71 times T10 successful runs (not included failed runs) Finally saw my first slaying neck dropped.
Ya This RNG system is very unrewarded and huge punishment to Unlucky people.

I agreed with token system.

While I agree the token system idea is a very poor option as it can create a "lazy" player base, I do think that a new function to the loot system needs to be created. Something like a once per day/week multiplier to give every player more "control" without it being to lenient on a lazy play style, perhaps even a loot reroll(like the loot can be rolled over to a different item) if a majority of the party agreesbut only aloud once per run. Obviously these functions would have there own flaws but I think its on the right track. RNG is important to a loot system personally but a LITTLE control for the player could go a long way.

Seriously where is the sense of achievement in dungeons that drop no loot? Granted the ones that do now should be dropping much more but a token system is so boring.

I think you're a bit confused about the definition of work.
This RNG stuff is like gambling... There's a chance you could play everyday your entire life and never win. That's how lottery systems function.

yoschi said he would detail the new loot systems in an UPCOMING life letter. 4 weeks to go and we still dont have infos. tough there is heavensward part 2 on E3. i really want a info on HOW this supposed new raid loot system works. if the current RNG mess stays i am done with raids on this game. weekly locked content shouldnt be this punishing in terms of rewards.
